Where's my sight beyond sight?
Dec. 14th, 2005 10:34 amI woke up to the sound of sirens outside my window, swiftly donning my cape and calling for the rest of the Neo Loonie League I lept into action!
Justice has never been so swift.
Outside a vast crowd had gathered, people were staring and pointing, I counted at least sixty specialist firefighters in breathing gear, twenty policemen and a rather out of place - but determined looking - coastguard.
And there, high above the crowds on a branch that surely could barely support it's weight was a small, plaintively mewing tabby cat. There would be no time to wait for backup from the rest of my heroic band, I would have to spring into action right away.
"Never fear, ladies and gentlemen, NON SENSICAL MAN is here!"
Their stunned silence was obviously awe at my swift arrival, that and the sight of me clad in tight fitting day-glo orange spandex with neon yellow pants and a bright green cape. Style? Oh yes.
Moving swiftly before any of the emergency services could act I nailed a piece of bacon to the tree, thus distracted I lept into the air for the first branch of the tree.
By this time there were screams and shouts from the crowd "The crazy fool is going for it!" shouted one man, a policeman lifted a loudhailer to warn me, but with the cat in such close proximity he couldn't risk scaring it.
Swifter than a ferret on lucazade I slinked up the tree to the procarious branch. The cat looked at me and blinked, there was no way it was going to let go. We would have to leave this hellish leafed maze of branches the hard way.
Leaping like a lemming on the discovery channel I caught the cat by surprise and grabbed it from the branch, it's immediate clawing of my face was enough gratitude already, but it had yet to even be saved. But still it was unprepared for the flight to the floor.
Well, I say 'flight' technically I plummeted. But then my heroic (and slightly mangled) body shielded the kitty from any damage and as the crowd cheered and the ambulence men rolled out their stretchers (ah they're using the no.3 dolly today) so ended another glorious chapter in the fight against trees.
Thus it was that the tree had it's prisoner snatched from it's evil wooden clutches and I spent four hours in casualty.
Just another day in the life of NON SENSICAL MAN!
